NEW ORLEANS - The Tulane men's tennis team gets a rare opportunity at a regular-season rematch when its hosts 24th-ranked Mississippi State on Sunday, February 21 at 1 p.m., at the City Park Tennis Center.
LAST TIME OUT
Tulane (6-2) pieced together its third consecutive win away from home with a 6-1 neutral-site victory over the University of Miami (Fla.) in Tallahassee on Feb. 14. The Green Wave secured the doubles point for the eighth straight match before winning in straight sets on four courts, followed by a three-set win on court three to complete the win.
